Workin' it Out

Start Weight: 280.4 (March 3)
Goal Weight: 260.4
Today's Weigh In: 276.4
Days to Goal (April 16): 41 remaining
Total Pounds Lost: 4 out of 20

Ok, so it seems like I'm going backwards. I eluded to this yesterday, but I had two things going against me in today's weigh in. First off - the beer consumption. Had a good time, and you could tell by the scale. It was up today. Also, I changed the 'time' that I weigh in - I used to weigh in AFTER the gym in the morning, and now because I'm going to the gym and changing/showering there and heading straight to work, I weigh in right when I get out bed. Traditionally I get about 2 pounds(ish) lower when I 'officially' step on the scale after the gym.

So, it went up. But I'm not sweating it, because I just stepped on the scale before dinner (one of the highest times of the day for me) and I was at 275 - lower than I was at my weigh in, and I usually drop 1-3 during the night, so I'm not TOO worried. I hated seeing it, but it is what it is.

I went to the gym this morning at 6:30am nd did 40 on the Eliptical this morning, went to school and work, left work at 6pm - went to volleyball at 7pm and then played for two hours straight, got home around 9:15 - Erin had made turkey sloppy joes, so I had a small bowl (probably about 6-7 bites) with no bread, right out of the bowl, and I'm calling it a night.

I'm starting to get that sense of urgency. There's 13 days left in the month and I *NEED* to get to the 260s. It's crunch time.

I gotta tell ya, Tuck, I thougbt twenty pounds in a month was a little optimistic, but what do I know. Keep pushing forward, fuck what happened with the beer and don't let it get you down. You'll get there.

I'm going to have to agree with Jim on the whole fuck what happened with the beer. If you deprive yourself to much of the things you love you could risk just totally falling off the wagon (or is it on the wagon?) Anyways, from reading your blog I don't really understand myself how you haven't lost much weight as of late. I'm rooting for you Rob, it'll start coming off anytime now, espically with it starting to be nice in Michigan again. You can get out there and be more active outside!
